Two concepts explain most questions about deposit and withdrawal timing: network fees and confirmations.
What is a network fee?
Every blockchain transaction pays a fee to the miners or validators that process it. This fee does not go to Palzea — it is the cost of using the blockchain itself. Fees fluctuate with network congestion: an Ethereum transfer can cost a few cents on a quiet Sunday and many dollars during an NFT mint.
What is a confirmation?
A transaction is “confirmed” each time a new block is added on top of the block containing it. More confirmations make a transaction exponentially harder to reverse, which is why exchanges wait for a minimum number before crediting deposits.
Practical tips for cheaper transfers
- For stablecoins, prefer cheap networks such as Tron (TRC-20) or Polygon when both sides support them.
- Avoid moving funds during peak congestion if the transfer is not urgent.
- Consolidate several small transfers into one larger one — fees are mostly flat per transaction.
